Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Q/C Technologies, Inc. announced that it has relocated its headquarters to San Francisco, California, as part of its plan to develop a proprietary optical processing unit (OPU) capable of overcoming the heightened performance and energy constraints of today’s artificial intelligence inference infrastructure. The Company has engaged Lumicity, a U.S. staffing agency specialized in innovative and emerging technologies, to recruit world-class optical, semiconductor and systems engineers.

“Consistent with our photonic computing initiative announced in April, we have moved our Company headquarters from New York City to San Francisco, California, in close proximity to major tech hubs and the world’s leading innovators in AI, photonics and computing,” said Joshua Silverman, Executive Chairman. “We are well funded to acquire talent and advance this new program through our foundational set of milestones and longer-term objectives. This is an exciting new chapter for Q/C Technologies.”

“The relocation advances our recruiting opportunities as we build out a 4,800-square-foot integrated photonics lab where we will ramp research and development of our optical chip. We are recruiting and have already hired specialized engineers in the region who come from companies including IGP Photonics, Neurophos and IonQ,” said Q/C Technologies board member Chelsea Voss. “We are building a foundational base of knowledge and expertise to help address what many believe is the next bottleneck in AI— enabling faster, more efficient data movement for real-world applications. We believe that optical computing is the answer for next-gen AI.”
